Snajpera, sorry for the late response. Been traveling a lot. So when I place that command in the encoding settings:

So when I start the encoding process all the server start and stop, start and stop, repeatedly. Here is the error that I get at the encoding server level/window:


If I remove the command, everything works find except for the "OpenCL: unable to open clbin file for write" error as before.

Now on a different note, this OpenCL command or option is to force the encoder to use the graphic Processor as opposed to the CPU or is it for denoise only? Sorry for the noob question...

1) make sure that all your pcs use updated EncodingServer.exe (version 1.7.3)
2) remove --opencl-bin %TEMP\.... command from profile. Since last update this command is automatically added.

lookahead task in x264 is calculated on GPU so this means more CPU cycles for other tasks.

So to verify what version I have, I right click and do properties on the file. Under details I show file version 1.7.2.0.
I ran the updater and it still shows the same version. In reviewing the updater log, that files was not replaced or included in the update.
Next I downloaded the latest version of ripbot264 from the first posting. I extracted the files and copied the "encoding server.exe" file over. Under details I show file version 1.7.1.0. ( that's not good).

Can you please confirm where I can download it? I think I may have missed something...

2) remove --opencl-bin %TEMP\.... command from profile. Since last update this command is automatically added.

Done!!

@ Viper714,

I recently checked my version the same why you have, and after the latest auto updates, I DO have v1.7.3.0 !!!

Maybe you could try downloading the .7z of 1.20.0 version of Ripbot, then run the auto update from that, and it should get ALL the updates since that build (that's what I recently did, seems to be working OK).

Cheers

Apologies if this has already been covered, I've tried searching the thread but haven't found any relevant posts.

I'm looking at AMD's Threadripper, and as I understand it, the likes of x264 / x265 won't fully use the CPU usage when running on a single 'job'.

Is it possible with Ripbot to 'distribute encode' a file on a single machine, so spawn 4 encoding jobs and each job in parallel encodes 25% of a file and stitches them back together? Is there a guide, or some documentation that someone can point me at?

Many Thanks

Activate distributed encoding mode with 2-3 servers.

Burt,
That did it!! Thanks for the recommendation.

i apologize in advance. but i searched for the keyword "FFAudio Source: No Audio Track Found" and could not get and hits on this problem. Ripbot has always worked for me, but recently, not sure if it's some of the new releases, i am not getting this error message (see attachment), when i load a mkv movie for conversion. i am on the latest 1.20 version of ripbot.

my workflow video source is always H264, and audio input is always losless DTS-HD or TrueHD. it only started recently.

what do i do. i tried updating Haali, but i already have the latest version. help!

[Atak_Snajpera]

howzz you will have to send me some sample.

Hi, Atak
The RipBot264 is excellent, as always.
And I really enjoyed the latest version.
But I've felt the lack of an activation button or a checkbox for anamorphic mode.
Mainly for Custom Sizes.
In order to optimize from 4:3 to 16:9 television format or Aspect ratio.
SD-NTSC 720x480 [1,33:1] ... It is anamorphic, but I want to have the option to work with higher Resolutions.

Encoding settings -> AviSynth Filters -> Size -> Custom (anamorphic)????

Example:


Pardon, if that has been previously reported. Thanks!

[Atak_Snajpera]

Are you upscaling from 720x480 to 1080x720?

Yes! Playback becomes much more comfortable for Full HD TV.
Only in this case (DVD video), more than that (1080x720) would not be necessary.

I edited the previous post.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Why don't you let TV to do upscaling on fly? Currently you are only increasing bitrate and encoding time for no extra detail during playback.

I understand you, but I was looking for the optimization of the anamorphic way, because it would already be automated from the origin.
If RipBot allows me to, I accept the risk of more time and larger file size.

Just an option to "force the anamorphic"... something like: "Use when necessary".

Thank you for your attention.

which nifty little software can i use to create a clip for you.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Dgsplit

[howzz]

i think DGSplit's site is down or something. both DOOM9's portal and sofpedia portal points to the same neuron2.net website that has no download link but ads.

oh well... i'll use Handbrake in the meantime for those problematic titles. thanks

File m2v + ac3 does not allow automatic cutting (Crop Automatically), and freezes the RipBot. No support for M2V?
I need to use the ImagoMPEG-Muxer application and transform the m2v + ac3 to VOB.




Thanks!
